Gold and Silver Bald Eagle Coins Popular with Collectors
The U.S. Mint's 2008 American Bald Eagle coins are proving to be popular with coin collectors. Especially the $5 gold and $1 silver versions, with nearly 70% of their max mintage already sold.
All three legal tender coins (gold, silver & clad) celebrate the successful recovery and restoration of the Bald Eagle to America's skies and the upcoming 35th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act on December 28.
The popularity of the coins couldn't make the American Eagle Foundation (AEF) happier since the not-for-profit organization receives a portion of each coin sale — $35 per gold piece, $10 per silver coin, and $3 for each clad.
AEF is dedicated to protecting the majestic Bald Eagle, the USA's National Symbol, and its habitat by supporting and conducting eagle and environmental recovery and education programs.
